hch pairs in love and mutual hohor joined?
With goddesslike demeanor forth she went
lot unattended.
The sweet beauty and winning, artless
vays of Nora were a source of continuous
Ielight to Sir Arthur, and now that he had
.ecome acquainted with her, their acquain-
ance had ripened into warm friendship.
To Nora the companionship of this hand
ome, cultivated man was a source of the
reatest delight. 1t was what she had
reamed of, read of and longed for, and
ow that her longing for the companion
hip, for cultivated society was realized, she
cit as if she had been translated to another
Forld.
Sir Arthur found Noras education very
imperfect, but she had a taste for the beau
iful far above her station, and day after
Law saw these two wandering off together
the same bower where Sir Arthur had
ound Nora. There he employed the hours
n training her rich mind.
The imperfect sketches became works of
rt under her instructors careful tuition,
md the rich voice sweet with melody.
Nora would have done credit to a higher
birth and more elegant surroundings; her
eady memory soon mastered the intricacies

Englishman was proud of his beautiful pu-
ll
Timmy was delighted with the interest the
stranger was taking in his pet, and as he
beard her hsping her pretty French to her
tutor his old eyes grew large with wonder
But with Mag it was different. She
watched the growing interest of these two
young people in each other with a jealous
Jye-and although she spoke little her looks
Ihowed her anger at the growing intimacy
Sir Arthur often secretly watched the ac-
ions Of Mag, and wondered at the indiffer
mce she evinced towards her daughter. She
was not positively cruel to Nora-the dear
girl was too sweet and lovely for that, but
here was carelessness and GOODNESS not
sften seen in a mother toward her child,
Timmy fairly worshipped the ground his
daughter walked upon. and Nora dearly
oved her father. But to a strangers eye it
was difficulty to imagine that this sweet,
delicate girl was the offspring of such par
ents.
One beautiful morning the young people
started as usual for their bower, Sir Arthur
carrying portfolio and books, and Nora
looking fresh and sweet in her white dress
and rustic hat.
Jimmy, who was sitting ON the porch
smoking his pipe, looked after them with ad-
miring eyes, while Mag looked like a She
wolf ready to pounce upon them and tear
them to pieces.
when be that chap goin' ter leave these
partsg' asked she, turning to Timmy.
Pm sure / don't know, mother. I'd like
him ter stay as long as he could, answered
Jimmy.
"Umph!" g1unted Mag. "And do all the
mischief he kim

Timothy Tideout, you alters was a foolr'
was the pleasant answer his spouse made
him.
why, what's the matter nowf asked
her husband, looking at her in surprise
Matter! Don't ye see they be gittin'
sweet about each otherr' exclaimed Mag,
her green eyes glistening with rage.
''Sweet!'' replied Jimmy, in amazement.
And then looking satisfied added: "Well,
what if they are, mother3"
What if they are, you fool! What ef
they arel Don't ye know, mon, she kin
never marry the likes of him!'
"Why" asked Timmy.
"Whyi Ye don't use the sense yer mother
give>yel Any one kin see he belongs ter the
big uns, and We don't 'spose he be bein ter
marry her as belongs ter common folks like
us, and haint no money, nutherF" ex-
Rleimed Mag, savagely.
She's purity enough fur any one, replied
hmy, wistfully.
"Yes, and that's where the danger be-
Folks sich as he likes money and big name
as well as looks, and they never means no
good by them as heZ only the looks without
the other" responded Mag.
Pooh motherl she's safe enough with him.
That man wouldn't do dishonest act fur
nothin'," replied Timmy, determined to de-
tend young Beaconsfield who had become
tavol1te with the old man.
There's none SO blind as won't see so
eff any harm comes ter the gal I've warned
ye Them slick-lookin' chaps is usually the
worst replied Mag, discontented that she
had not succeeded IN influencing her nus
band against their guest
Meanwhile day after day passed away
and week after week, although Romeo had
been well enough to travel for some time.
First it was picture that could not be
finished away from there, and then Nora $
French, drawing and music that detained
Sir Arthur.
But the real truth dawned upon him that
he had learned to love this sweet, gentle girl
with depth of affection that forbade part
ing.
The very thought of a separation was
agonizing TO the young man; and when he
spoke TO Nora of leaving the paling cheek
and the tear that started in the sweet blue
eye told him that his love was not in vain.
IL was such sweet reality that Sll,
Arthur drifted into il without a thought OF
nonle or friends.
All he saw was the beautiful, pure vision
Of loveliness, which he wished TO make all
nis own.
As to Nora she walked or sat beside him
feeling a happiness and content she had
never known before Her studies were more
Interesting because he was her teacher
AS yet no word of love had been spoken
One lovely evening when sitting IN the
messy bower where they had first met, ana
talking of the beauties OF the scene before
Them, and coupling them with some of their
ttavorite fancies which they had studied
from the poets, and then singing sweet
snatches Of song together--just as the twi-
light shadows began 10 fall, casting a halo
